I love my Lazy Cabbage Rolls recipe, which is a deconstructed version of slow cooker cabbage rolls. Taking it a step further, our Stuffed Cabbage Casserole is a one-pot dish that the whole family loves.

Saving time to get the classic flavour, it’s why I love to make One-Pot Lasagna Soup or Slow Cooker Easy Lasagna.

This great recipe is much less work and time than making traditional cabbage rolls. Plus, a hot bowl of soup is just needed sometimes.

Cabbage rolls are one of those meals that could be a lunch or filling dinner.

Yet the downside is that they take so much time to prep and cook. I hate spending more time making a dinner than enjoying it.

This is why I love this Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup recipe. You get all the flavour but it’s not as time consuming to make. Our Apple Butternut Squash Soup is simple and fast too.

Being a slow cooker meal, it’s a no-fuss meal that is ready when you are.

Plus this slow cooker soup warms your belly and soul, a true comforting meal. Just like our easy Crockpot Ham and Bean Soup recipe!

Crock Pot Cabbage Roll Soup Ingredients

This cabbage roll soup recipe has the following simple ingredients to give this soup it’s amazing taste. As always the full recipe is on the printable recipe card at the end of this post.

Ground Beef – I use lean ground beef in this recipe. You can also use ground turkey in its place if you’d like.
Vegetables – onion, cabbage, green beans, celery, bell pepper, canned diced tomatoes
Tomato Paste
Seasonings – I use Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper
Garlic – use fresh garlic or minced garlic
Broth – You can use either vegetable broth, beef broth or chicken broth. Another wonderful soup recipe that uses broth is our Turkey and Rice Soup from Leftovers.
Minute Rice – you can use white rice or any other variety as you see fit such as brown rice or cauliflower rice. Though keep in mind other kinds will take longer to cook.

How to Make Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup

Cook ground beef until done and place in the slow cooker.
Place in all the vegetables, and top with the stock, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste.
Add the spices, cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 7-8 hours.
In the last 15-20 minutes, add the rice and it’ll cook on it’s own. Check after 10 minutes and then every few minutes for rice doneness.
Enjoy this crockpot cabbage roll soup recipe either on its own or with a delicious side dish!

What to Serve with Cabbage Roll Soup

Since this soup is so filling, I like to think of it as a main course dinner.

Yet, smaller servings would make it great for lunch.

Even smaller yet and it’s a great appetizer or wonderful to bring to a potluck.

I suggest serving this soup with these Easy Baking Powder Biscuits or our homemade Air Fryer Garlic Bread. Both are a simple yet perfect side. And great for dipping!

How Long is Cabbage Roll Soup Good For?

Once completely prepared, this crockpot cabbage roll soup recipe can last in in the refrigerator for three to four days.

Just make sure to put any leftover soup in an airtight container or cover well with plastic wrap.

Can you Freeze Cabbage Roll Soup?

Yes, you can! Soups are great for freezing for another dinner much like this Slow Cooker Butter Chicken.

Both as a whole or in individual-sized portions too.

I’d make sure not to overcook the rice, no matter if you’re enjoying it now or later though. Mushy rice just isn’t preferred.

You can do the same with this Tomato Vegetable Hamburger Soup.
